🍯Ingredients
1 large bone-in ham slice (about 1–1½ inches thick)
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra shine and sweetness)
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
Pinch of black pepper
🥣Directions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tbsp butter.
Lay the ham slice in the skillet and sear 4–5 minutes per side, until it’s browned and sizzling around the edges.
In the same skillet the ham was seared, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter.
Add cherry jam, honey (if using), cinnamon, cloves, and pepper. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Reduce heat to medium-low, place the ham slice back in the pan and coat it top and bottom with the glaze, letting it bubble gently.
Continue to spoon the glaze over the top and cook 2–3 more minutes, allowing it to thicken and cling to the ham.
Transfer to a platter and drizzle remaining glaze over the top.
Serve warm with biscuits, scrambled eggs, and extra jam.
